Coaches are great at coaching. Most fail at business.

Helping clients eat better is your passion—but building a profitable, sustainable nutrition coaching business requires more than nutrition knowledge. This course gives you the systems, pricing, and operations so you can coach with confidence and grow without burning out.

What makes it different

Built specifically for nutrition coaches
Every domain is framed around nutrition coaching—program design, check-ins, habit systems, and accountability.
  • Program packaging
  • Check-in workflows
Tools you can actually use
Worksheets, forms, trackers, and scripts you can copy, customize, and use immediately.
  • Client intake + check-in forms
  • Habit and progress trackers
  • Pricing/package worksheets
Systemized, not overwhelming
A simple operating system—pricing, delivery, retention, boundaries, and growth.
  • Pricing calculators
  • SOP templates
  • KPI dashboards

Who it’s for

New nutrition coaches starting out
Start strong with pricing, programs, and systems—without months of trial-and-error.
Experienced coaches raising prices + boundaries
Upgrade your operations so you can charge confidently and avoid burnout.
Personal trainers expanding into nutrition
Add nutrition services the right way—with clear delivery, check-ins, and client systems.
Coaches building retention + referrals
Put retention systems in place so clients stay longer and results drive referrals.

If you want generic motivation instead of systems, this isn’t that.
